This role provides technical oversight of site consultant design teams during facility construction and tool hookup phases, specifically focusing on the review and approval of chemical and slurry system connections and materials of construction. The Specialty Chemical/Slurry Project Engineer manages General Contractor activities for new and retrofit projects to ensure all chemical and slurry delivery systems are installed safely, efficiently, and in accordance with regulatory standards.

Role and Responsibilities

Here's What You'll Be Responsible For:

• Support strategic Fab and support project planning for chemical and slurry systems, including the review and approval of "first-of-the-kind" process tool requirements and identifying critical path solutions for code and regulatory concerns.
• Develop, review, and approve SAS site construction and tool hookup specifications related to chemical and slurry piping, pumps, storage equipment, and associated distribution rooms and buildings.
• Provide technical guidance to contracted design teams to ensure the selection of proper materials of construction-specifically addressing chemical compatibility and slurry abrasion/sedimentation requirements-and the integrity of system connections.
• Partner with site operations and EHS teams to audit existing piping, equipment, and secondary containment systems to verify adherence to applicable codes and safety standards.
• Serve as a primary technical interface between the Construction General Contractor, Subcontractors, Consultant Design Teams, and various SAS Owner organizations.
• Identify, track, and resolve project issues during construction; document Site Observation Reports and manage construction punch lists through to final resolution.
• Proactively identify and mitigate project risk points specifically related to chemical/slurry safety, hazardous material handling, and code compliance.
• Perform regular site field observation inspections to verify that installed piping, equipment, and ductwork meet design specifications and safety standards.
• Interface with stakeholders across SAS Facilities, Manufacturing, and Engineering organizations to meet aggressive project goals and timelines.
• Manage internal and external stakeholders within a customer-service oriented framework to ensure project alignment and satisfaction.

Skills and Qualifications

Here's What You'll Need:

• Education: 4-year degree in Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Construction Engineering or related fields
• Minimum 3 years of design and project experience focused on chemical and/or slurry delivery systems in an industrial setting.
• Semiconductor Fab experience or a related high-tech industrial field is strongly preferred.
• Construction Experience: 3+ years of experience working within an active construction environment is preferred.
• Working knowledge of IBC, IFC, and other local/national codes and standards applicable to chemical and slurry system design and construction.
• Proven experience managing projects through the entire lifecycle: design, specification, installation, and commissioning.
• Ability to read and interpret design plans, P&IDs, shop drawings, and equipment specifications.
• Familiarity with the design and installation of facility equipment and the structural requirements of industrial buildings.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to present complex technical information to diverse audiences.
• Proficiency in AutoCAD, BIM 360, and Bluebeam.
• Ability to learn custom/internally developed software and collaborate with programmers to develop and manage code compliance databases.
• Reliable and punctual attendance; ability to work overtime or non-scheduled days as required to meet project milestones.
• Registered Professional Engineer (PE) in the state of Texas (or registered in another state with the ability to transfer).
• Project Management Professional (PMP) or Program Management Professional (PgMP).

The current base salary range for this role is between $95,000 - $125,000.
